Hi Puna....Have you, or any other shareholder, tried to call HSAC IR just to see what they could/would tell us??? I did yesterday, and again today....no response from Mr. Calk nor his office. Below, I have posted a link to a Seattle Times article about Costco, and their CEO and top management, and how THEY handled calls with their recent shareholder questions.... As a disclaimer: I DO have presently HSAC shares, both nearly at their high, and also at what I had hoped would be the low....a couple of weeks ago....they are now nearly 1/2 that "hoped for low".....And I don't have COST as yet....but I am sincerely wondering why not???? With a management team like the article states....why not indeed!!
What is going on??? ANY one with ANY thoughts???? KLP

Penny costs Costco billions
by Robert T. Nelson Seattle Times business reporter
Small investors who phone a company to find out what's up with the stock usually don't find the chief executive officer on the other end of the line answering their questions.
But that's exactly what happened yesterday at Costco Wholesale, where CEO Jim Sinegal and his management team spent the day assuring nervous investors, analysts and employees that the warehouse company was healthy and had not selectively released third-quarter earnings that fell one cent below Wall Street's forecasts.
"The phone's ringing off the hook," said Sinegal. "So many investors are calling and want to know what's going on. It's like a fire drill. We're dividing up the calls and taking them. We're going to stay until all the calls have been returned." |
